Cyclophoria
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Cyclotropia.
Cyclotropia is a form of strabismus in which, compared to the correct positioning of the eyes, there is a torsion of one eye (or both) about the eye's visual axis. Consequently, the visual fields of the two eyes appear tilted relative to each other. The corresponding latent condition – a condition in which torsion occurs only in the absence of appropriate visual stimuli – is called cyclophoria. Cyclotropia and cyclophoria can be subsumed as cyclodeviation (or cyclic deviation), and the eye rotation about its visual axis is known as cyclorotation or cyclotorsion.
